I like your thoughts on "Force of Habit" Bob. When I started collecting in 94 I was only going to buy "this group" and then it migrated to "that group" and eventually to "those groups" and ending with "Them All". Now that I understand your theory I realize that it wasn't the devil that made me do it. I'm at the point now that I either get a larger house or think about not "buying them all". I can't afford a bigger house and with a calculation of the remaining room in my curio cabinets I figure I'll end the trend of buying them all at the end of 2005 and after that buy the Florida Pieces, Christmas Piece, Society Piece and selected others. I figure buying just these and repositioning what I already have I can make it another 5 years after 2005. I display all my pieces so then it will be the choice to continue or pack away some of my least favorite ones. Until then I guess they are all WOWs in a way or I wouldn't be buying them.
